It aimed to determine the following: (1) business characteristics of different motor cycle dealers in terms of Corm of ownership, size of the business in terms of floor area, number of employees, years in operations, nature of capitalization, and number of stocks in inventory: (2) level of implementation of working capital management practices of motorcycle dealers in terms of cash management, inventory management, accounts receivable, and accounts payable management; (3) profitability of operating a motorcycle dealer business; (4) relationship between the business characteristics of motorcycle dealers and profitability; (5) relationship between the profitability and the level of implementation of working capital management practices; and, (6) most common problems encountered related to working capital management practices of motorcycle dealers.<br/> The participants of the study were 137 managers/owners of the motorcycle dealers in selected municipalities of Cavite namely: Trece Martires City, Silang, Dasmarinas, Imus, Bacoor, Tanza, Naic, Indang, Tagaytay, General Trias, Rosario, Cavite City, Noveleta, Mendez, General Mariano Alvarez, Carmona and Kawit. <br/>A survey questionnaire was used to gather data from the participants.
